Honestly nothing tastes as good to me on a cold winter day as soup does. I could eat bowl after bowl after bowl. I especially love Broccoli Cheddar Soup. While broccoli isn’t my favorite vegetable (though I don’t mind it… just don’t love it), but in soup with cheese? I’m a goner!
I got this recipe over ten years ago. It’s creamy, tasty and easy to make. Put it in a bread bowl and it’s even dreamier!
You can have this soup done in under a half an hour, from start to finish.
